Aren't there people who work for him that tell him what he should and shouldn't say? They should be fired! Also with the increase of drivers on the road, wouldn't that create more air pollution. I mean this is odd to hear because aren't these guys all about going green? Swine flu is a very serious issue, but if the United States hasn't experienced fatalities because of it, these reccomendations from Biden are a little far-fetched! He should be recomending people to stay healthy, eat right, wash your hands, cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing, and avoid public places if possible. That is what his PR people should be telling him to say! I am still shocked that this man is our Vice President. Aren’t there people who work for him that tell him what he should and shouldn’t say?

Biden, when he was backtracking himself, and saying that his words were taking out of context.But it comes at a time when our economy is in trouble and healthcare being a major issue and Swine flu is beginning to travel, so I couldnt but agree when talking with my econ professor and him saying that the vice pres making those comments were in my words ridiculus, when your chances of being in a plane crash is one in a million and over 33 million car accidents occur a year killing over 47000 people, and injuring at 5.4 million. To prevent spreading swine flu lets simply increase the number of drivers on the roads. Great job Joe Honestly when I first heard of the comments by Vice Pres.

This past weekend we rented a 15 passenger van and drove to Tallahassee for my cousin's graduatin from Florida State University. FSU made each student (over 1,000) sanitize their hands before shaking hands on stage and after shaking hands. I agree that air travel is best due to the amount of people on the highways texting and driving. People drive for to long and either get sleepy or distracted and wreck.
